Dublin rock ballers MUNKY released their latest single 'You've Got Male' yesterday, which is the first glimpse of their debut EP that is set for release later this year. Starting smack bang in the middle of a ferocious guitar-driven blowout, the four-piece match their high-energy live performances in the studio across it's three-plus minutes. There's a delightful break at 2:17 that oozes a disdainful cool before ratcheting up the tempo for one final smash and grab. For me the key enjoyment in MUNKY's sound is how they combine classic rock with contemporary guitar riffs, and the most subtle strand of satirical stadium rock characteristics. A tasty, tasty intro for what is coming down the line.
